Under 1ct diamonds

[LynzeeLeigh]

Well guys, I honestly just went through all 47 pages in one sitting and I have to say, I feel so much better about having to get a "smaller" diamond now. Everyone's are just lovely. I'm finally getting an engagement ring soon (we've been 'engaged' for a while, but had just bought a house that needed fixing up so it hasn't been in the cards til now). Since I've had so much time to think about it, I'm really having some trouble deciding on my diamond. The biggest I'm going to be able to go is about .7 carats (about 5.7 mm). If I go with that I'm looking to get at least a G in color, but preferably F and an eye clean SI1 or SI2. If I go a little smaller, like .63 (5.4/5.5 ish mm), I'll be able to get an F or E and VS2 in clarity. OR I could go a little bigger than the .7 but probably have to go down to I in color and stick with an eye clean SI2. No matter what, I'm getting an ideal cut. Sparkle is obviously number one. I'm getting the classic six prong setting from blue nile. What do you guys think I should do? My ring size is about 3 1/2 or 4 so I have tiny fingers.

Ladies, all these rings are gorgeous! I just joined PS because of this thread. I'll be posting my *new engagement ring soon. I'm getting married on June 1, 2011!!

 

[Pikaluv]

Beautiful!! The WB and the E-ring look awesome together!

Here is my little beauty! My fiance presented me with my new .50 ct. brilliant cut e-ring. Ring size is 4.5. I love it so much. My fiance gave it to me as an early Valentines Day gift! <3

finger coverage for under a carat-
this is an antique wedding set that in total comes in under a carat. however people *freak out* over it and it is a lot of bling for your buck. I've only had this for a few days and people keep exclaiming over it and grabbing my hand-all for under a carat. I never had anyone react to my other rings like this. So, without further ado: my antique transitional diamond ring, center stone .30 carats.

Here's a side view of my new ring. I am so obsessed with my .50 ct beauty!

 

[mrs taylor]

Thank you so much Junebug17!! I am obsessed with it, I'm not gonna lie. Heheh.. Do you have pictures of a ring on this thread?

 

[Pikaluv]

Okay, THIS is the last picture I'll post. Just so everyone gets a sense of it's size on my hand. I really love this thread. I may start another one on Engagement rings + wedding bands since I'm in the market for a good wedding band idea.

I really don't know Sweety! This set was found by my mother on the road near her home!!!! After searching for the owner without result,
she give it to my daughter. The diamond weight and quality is inscribe inside but I can't read the company name. I think it's an old piece. Really beautiful and the diamond is sparkly like a big excellent cut! I can believe it!

I'm sorry you can't see it in the DD finger, it's really gorgeous!

 

[mrs taylor]

stci, that tiny diamond is outstanding! what an amazing setting!

under 1 carat rings

I love looking at all ur rings. they are all so beautiful
Just thought i would share my lovely set..Its is actually in the mail as we speak so finger pictures will have to come later.
We upgraded the center stone to 1/2 carat and added another band.
I think total wt is a little under 1.5, G color, and i think its a VS2

 

[stci]

mindiej9263, your ring and guards are fantastic! Really beautiful!

 

[motownmama]

mindie - I'd love to see a post dedicated to your rings when they arrive - just lovely!

Here's mine (OMG...why are my fingers so furry?! Eeewww...)
1/2 ct. F SI1 transition cut diamond in an antique setting. Size 4.5 ring. What's unique about it is that it's 20k gold and has lovebirds engraved on the sides. I found it in an estate sale:

I stalked this thread a lot when I was looking for my engagement ring. Here is the one I ended up with!

0.9 carat, colour H, SI2 (eye clean)

 

[starrysky]

And what it looks like on.

ps- I only noticed the two little hearts engraved onto the band after I bought it! It's now my favourite thing about the ring

 

[motownmama]

Looks terrific on your lovely hand!

DD little ring, finger 4.5, .20 ct J VS

stci - I've seen this before I believe, but I have to comment again - this is one of the prettiest solitaire designs I've ever seen! I keep going back to it - so simple, yet so unique and striking and absolutely elegant... and I think the diamond size is just *perfect* for it.

 

[Andelain]

I've got another contribution!

It's a .80 ct light brown AGS0 that was recut by BGD from a 1ct. WF made the setting, it's a white gold dupe of the yellow gold ring with the .84 ct 'D' that had made so many PS appearances.

I will return your compliments to DD. Thank you nice Yssie!
